Container for storing used brushes and similar application tools

The invention relates to a container for storing used brushes and similar tools with which varnishes, paints, adhesives or separating, lubricating or other liquid substances are applied that dry out or harden. Brush or other brush moistened with the applied substances

Application tools are at risk of being thrown by • as the substances harden and become stiff and crusty.

So far it has been customary to place used application tools for paints, varnishes, adhesives or the like in open containers to be placed in such a way that their bristles or other coverings are completely immersed in a liquid. As a liquid can Serve water or a solvent. These containers have the disadvantage that the liquid introduced with evaporates over time and the application tools dry out. There is also the risk of being careless Handling the liquid contents of the containers is spilled. There is another major disadvantage in the fact that in the container and in the liquid of residues of the applied substances flakes and end??? Ä "2? ¥! Ι« «» «" H-JiHeTi- which is the touching tool pollute each other. The application tools must therefore be washed before being used again. Through the The holding parts of the application tools often become liquid as a result of rust formation, swelling and through damage the formation of deposits in the area of the liquid level. Will be volatile, flammable or toxic solvents used as protective liquid for the application tools can become flammable or toxic fumes in the vicinity of the container with the risk of damage to health or the outbreak of fire form.

The invention is based on the task of avoiding

of the disadvantages mentioned above, a container for storing used brushes and the like To create application tools, the safe storage of the application tools without the risk of a Soiling or damage to the tools is permitted.

The object set is achieved according to the invention with a container which is gas-tight by a lid Has closable recording otffming, the bottom of which is provided with an absorbent inner lining which can be soaked in a volatilizable solvent, and which has a sieve grate arranged at a distance from the inner lining as a support surface for the application tools. The container can expediently take the form of a canister with an oval or rounded cross section and with have an upper receiving opening. The stackable container According to the invention has the advantage that the application tools are clean in it after a rough pre-cleaning and safely stored for longer periods of time and removed from the container in an immediately usable condition can be. A solvent atmosphere that causes hardening is formed and retained in the gas-tight container the application tools prevented. The container is safe and unproblematic to use because it contains the liquid solvents in the absorbent floor covering, which is caused by a loose sheet of non-swellable material Fleece material can be formed, is completely bound and the container is not toxic or flammable Vapors can escape.

The tight closure can advantageously by a cooperating with the opening edge of the container and an elastic seal inserted into the cover must be guaranteed. The Lid hinged to the container and clamped to the container by means of a toggle lever lock. The lid can also be designed to be closable and has a central, have sunk mounted and pivotable handle in a lid recess.

The liquid solvent contained in the absorbent inner lining partially evaporates and forms an atmosphere inside the gas-tight container that prevents the brush from drying out prevented. The screen prevents the brush or other application tools with the Come into contact with the inner lining. In addition, the sieve bottom area can advantageously by a

S insert part that can be attached to the sieve grate in several loading

rich, which are separated from each other by partitions. In the individual grate areas different application tools are inserted and can be mutually due to the partition walls do not touch. The application tools are thus also secured against mutual contamination. The arrangement of the walls in the insert and the resulting division of the screen area can be selected as required and adapted to the dimensions of individual application tools.

An exemplary embodiment of a container designed according to the invention is described below with reference to the enclosed schematic drawing explained in more detail.

ter;

Fig. 3 is a section through the Behäl

ter along the line III-III in FIG. 1.

The container 10 shown in the drawing has the shape of one made of tin-plated steel sheet cuboid canister with rounded corners. It is open on its top. Its opening is through a lid 11 closed with its lid edge

12 overlaps the opening edge 13 of the canister 10. In the lid is elastic and with the opening edge

13 of the canister 10 cooperating seal I4 inserted, which is held in place by means of welded-on Bleoh pieces.

As can be seen from Fig. 2, the cover 11 is on one side by a hinge 15 on the canister 10 hinged and on the opposite side with a

Versohlußbügel 16 is provided to which a on a side wall of the canister "secured the toggle latch 17 with Onea-hook" with which can engage bars 18, the cover is "bias against the opening edge 13 of the \ canister is closed. The lever of Kniehebelver-

Bohlusses 17 has a through opening for one to the Attachment eyelet 19 attached to the side wall of the container a padlock 20. The canister 10 is thus designed to be lockable. The lid 11 is with a Well 21 provided in which an oval-shaped support ring 22 in a sunk retaining part 23 in the Trough 21 is mounted in a folding ax. So the 3) cover 11 is provided with a smooth surface so that the canisters are etapslbai.

On the bottom 24 of the canister 10 is one made of Pig. 1 visible absorbent "VTiesplatte 25 placed, .lie can be soaked in a volatile liquid solvent for paints or the like. With distance and a grate plate 26 is arranged parallel to this fleece plate 25. On the underside of the perforated plate 26 foot brackets 27 are attached with which the perforated sieve plate 26 is supported on the bottom 24 of the canister 10. In Fig. 3, the holes 28 of the perforated sieve plate are shown only partially for the sake of clarity.

An insert 29 is placed on the Sieblooh plate, which consists of several vertical and perpendicular to each other

Store brushes or application rollers separately from each other leave. The application tools can be placed horizontally or upright, whereby they are on the relatively high walls 30 to 38 and on the inner wall of the canister 10 can be supported.

The height of the canister 10 is the usual lengths of the Handle parts of application tools adapted. Of course, the canister 10 is only transported in an upright position and turned off. The consumption of solvent is low, as solvent vapors only briefly when the Canister can escape.

The container can also be made of other corrosion-resistant materials
